Answer:

The stronger electrolyte is the HCl

Explanation:

Stronger electrolyte are the ones, that in water, completely dissociates.

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

HCl(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  Cl⁻(aq)

Both are acids, they bring protons to medium but the hydrochloric completely dissociates.

HF (aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄  H₃O⁺(aq) +  F⁻(aq)           Ka

In the dissociation of weak electrolytes, they ionize but at the same time they bond again, so the reaction is always kept in equilibrium.

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}

Number of molecules is given by

nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}

For the 19.37 g sample

n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}

Number of molecules is given by

nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}

1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

A solution contains 0.036 M Cu2+ and 0.044 M Fe2+. A solution containing sulfide ions is added to selectively precipitate one of
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The precipitate is CuS.

Sulfide will precipitate at  [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

The solution contains 0.036 M Cu2+ and 0.044 M Fe2+

Ksp (CuS) = 1.3 × 10-36

Ksp (FeS) = 6.3 × 10-18

Step 2:  Calculate precipitate

CuS → Cu^2+ + S^2-         Ksp= 1.3*10^-36

FeS → Fe^2+ + S^2-      Ksp= 6.3*10^-18

Calculate the minimum of amount needed to form precipitates:

Q=Ksp

<u>For copper</u>  we have:  Ksp=[Cu2+]*[S2-]

Ksp (CuS) = 1.3*10^-36 = 0.036M *[S2-]

[S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M

<u>For Iron</u>  we have: Ksp=[Fe2+]*[S2-]

Ksp(FeS) = 6.3*10^-18 = 0.044M*[S2-]

[S2-]= 1.43*10^-16 M

CuS will form precipitates before FeS., because only 3.61*10^-35 M Sulfur Ions are needed for CuS. For FeS we need 1.43*10^-16 M Sulfur Ions which is much larger.

The precipitate is CuS.

Sulfide will precipitate at  [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia in the Haber process. Calculate (in kJ) the standard enthalpy change ∆H° for the r
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

∆H° rxn = - 93 kJ

Explanation:

Recall that a change in standard in enthalpy, ∆H°, can be calculated from the inventory of the energies, H, of the bonds  broken minus bonds formed (H according to Hess Law.

We need to find in an appropiate reference table the bond energies for all the species in the reactions and then compute the result.

              N₂ (g)   +            3H₂ (g)   ⇒                          2NH₃ (g)

1 N≡N = 1(945 kJ/mol)     3 H-H = 3 (432 kJ/mol)       6 N-H = 6 ( 389 kJ/mol)

∆H° rxn = ∑  H bonds broken  - ∑ H bonds formed

∆H° rxn = [ 1(945 kJ)   + 3 (432 kJ) ] - [ 6 (389 k J]

∆H° rxn = 2,241 kJ -2334 kJ = -93 kJ

be careful when reading values from the reference table since you will find listed N-N bond energy (single bond), but we have instead a triple bond,  N≡N,  we have to use this one .

How do you balance AlC3+H2O➡️Al(OH)3+CH4?
Alex17521 [72]
Info: Al(oh)3 might be an improperly capitalized: Al(OH)3
Error: Some elements or groups in the reagents are not present in the products: O
Error: equation Al4C3+H2O=Al(oh)3+CH4 is an impossible reaction
Please correct your reaction or click on one of the suggestions below:
Al4C3 + H2O = Al(OH)3 + CH4

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
kramer
Based on the given conditions, the gravitational force acted on the body is greater than the force upward by a quantity equal to 500 N. Therefore, the net force will cancel out and will remain an amount of 500N downward relative to the gravitational force exerted by the object.
